When summer comes I remember those childhood days I collect coins from my parents to buy my favorite Ice-candy. What ever the flavor is it gives me a refreshing means to beat the heat. Making this is fun and easy. You can make your kids help you in preparing this. You can use your fruit drinks or be creative in using other flavors.

Ingredients:

for simpler flavors you can use any fruit drinks you have available: whether in powder or in concentrate

orange powder drink (prepare as indicated in the label)

strawberry flavor drink (prepare as indicated in the label)

chocolate milk flavor

Chocolate powder mixed with some milk, prepare as indicated in the label

for more creative flavor:

halo-halo flavor

one fourth cup of sago (tapioca)

1 tablespoon of dried raisins

half a cup of shredded coconut meat

1 sweetened banana (saba in preferance)

half a cup of melon strips

half a liter of coconut juice

one fourth cup of evaporated milk

5 tablespoons of sugar

Procedure:

For simple flavors after preparing your juices with the help of a funnel pour them on your ice-candy bags. Fill them half-way and close them by making a knot. Freeze for 24 hours.

For halo-halo flavors, mix everything in a big bowl. Taste the sweetness to determine if you want to add more or less sugar. Pour them with the help of your funnel on your ice-candy bags. Freeze them for at least 24 hours.
